Why this matters

The Guttmacher Institute's statement at the 59th Session of the UN Commission on Population and Development highlights the organization's commitment to global reproductive rights and health. Delivered by Floriane Borel, Senior Global Policy Associate, the statement emphasizes the need for comprehensive and inclusive policies that prioritize access to reproductive healthcare. As a US-based organization, Guttmacher's engagement with international forums like the UN Commission on Population and Development underscores the interconnectedness of reproductive rights issues across borders. The statement's focus on global policy aligns with Her Choice's coverage of reproductive rights and health in the US, where access to abortion and reproductive care varies significantly by state. The National Abortion Federation Hotline and the Repro Legal Helpline remain essential resources for individuals seeking care and navigating complex laws and policies, both domestically and internationally.
